GoForIt!

GoForIt! is a desktop to-do list that pairs task management with a timer. Tasks are entered into a list, worked through one at a time, and moved on when finished, so the application covers both the record of what needs doing and the act of sitting down to do it. The timer runs against the task currently selected, which keeps attention on a single item instead of the whole backlog.

The timed-interval approach will be familiar to anyone who has used a work-then-break routine: a stretch of focused work on one task, followed by a pause, repeated as needed. Because the timer is part of the same window as the list, there is no second stopwatch application to switch to, and the elapsed time belongs to a named task rather than to nothing in particular.

GoForIt! is a graphical desktop application for Linux, developed by the GoForIt! developers and released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license. It suits individual use on a single machine; users who need shared lists, assignments across a team, or clients on other operating systems should look elsewhere.
